This year, Kent State University’s Center for Teaching and Learning will host a series of events titled Working Lunches. Led by faculty colleagues and experts from various departments throughout the university, the lunches are designed to provide you with insights, approaches and strategies to enhance student learning. There is no such thing as a “free lunch,” so yes, you will be asked to think about how you can use the ideas in your classroom. We promise to make the lunches worth the effort. The dates and topics for the working lunches this fall are:

• Sept. 23 (Kent Campus)

The center also offers an easy way to search for answers to questions related to your role as a faculty member through FlashPort, the Faculty Learning and Support Hub Portal.
